Referring to FIGS. 1-2, a heat dissipation fan 100 of the present disclosure includes a base plate 10, a frame 20 formed on a top side of the base plate 10, a stator 30 received in the frame 20, and a rotor 40 below the stator 30 and connected with the stator 30.

Referring also to FIGS. 3-4, the base plate 10 is a rectangular plate. The base plate 10 has a first side 101 and a second side 102 located opposite to the first side 101. A side wall 103 protrudes vertically downward from a periphery of the second side 102. The side wall 103 includes a first fixing portion 1031 and a second fixing portion 1032 to fix the heat dissipation fan to electrical device. The first fixing portion 1031 and the second portion 1032 protrude towards an extending direction of the side wall 103. In at least one embodiment, the number of the first fixing portion 1031 is four, the first fixing portions 1031 are respectively located at edges of two ends of the side wall 103; the number of the second fixing portion 1032 is four, the second fixing portions 1032 are respectively located at edges of the other side wall 103. A height of the first fixing portion 1031 is more than that of the second fixing portion 1032. An inner side of each first fixing portion 1031 has a through hole 1033.

The base plate 10 has a circular hole 11 defined in a central portion thereof. The circular hole 11 extends through the first side 101 and the second side 102. An end of the circular hole 11 towards the second side 102 is an air inlet 110.

The frame 20 is protruded upward and vertically from edges of the circular hole on the first side 101. The frame 20 includes a main portion 21. The main portion 21 defines a first air outlet 22 configured on a top end of the main portion 21, relatively to the air inlet 110, and a second outlet 23. An extending direction of the second air outlet 23 is angled with that of the first air outlet 22. Preferable, the extending direction of the first air outlet 22 and that of the second outlet are perpendicular.

The main portion 21 is arc-shaped and defines a cutout 210 on a side thereof. A first extending portion 211, a second extending portion 212 and a connecting plate 213 are extended outward along edges of the cutout 210 of the main portion 21. Specifically, the first extending portion 211 and the second extending portion 212 are face to etch other and extend from opposite edges of the cutout 210. The first extending portion 211 and the second extending portion 212 are tangent with an outer periphery of the main portion 21. The connecting plate 213 extends from a bottom edges of the cutout 210 to connect bottom ends of the first extending portion 211 and the second extending portion 212. The first extending portion 211, the second extending portion 212, and the connecting plate 213 are cooperatively to define the second air outlet 23. An extending direction of the second air outlet 23 is vertical with an extending direction of the first air outlet 22.

The stator 30 is circular-shaped. A rotating shaft 32 is formed downward from an central portion of the stator 30 to drive the rotor 40. The stator 30 is connected with the frame 20 by a plurality of connecting arms 31. In at least this embodiment, the number of the connecting arms is four, and between each connecting arm is angled at 90 degree.

The rotor 40 is cylindrical, and received in the frame 20 to connect with the stator 30 by a rotating shaft 32. The rotor 40 includes a wheel hub 41 and multiple blades 42 extended outward and radially from peripheries of the wheel hub 41.

Referring to FIG. 5, when the heat dissipation fan 100 is assembled, the rotor 40 connects with the stator 30 by the rotating shaft 32, and is received in the frame 20, an outer top end of the blades 42 is beyond of a top surface of the connecting plate 213. The airflow enters from the air inlet 110 and discharges from either of the first air outlet 22 and the second air outlet 23.

In this disclosure, both the first air outlet 22 and the second air outlet 23 discharge the airflow, so the heat dissipation fan 100 has a high cooling efficiency. While the first air outlet 22 or the second air outlet 23 is blocked, the heat dissipation fan 100 can discharge the airflow through the second air outlet 23 or the first air outlet 22. It can be understood that, the heat dissipation fan 100 of the present disclosure can configured multiple air outlets to avoid being blocking. An angle is defined between each of the first air outlets and multiple air outlets.

It is to be further understood that even though numerous characteristics and advantages have been set forth in the foregoing description of embodiments, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only; and that changes may be made in the details, including in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
